Hen making a strange noise and sneezing

[ncamp]

Our 5 year old Naked Neck hen just started making these noises and also sneezed a couple of times. I palpitated her crop and there was food in there. I had just tossed out some mealworms which is a normal snack. but otherwise she's been eating the same feed as usual. I'm attaching a video

It is a bit like stridor when they get a piece of feed caught in their throat, and she is sneezing as well, maybe trying to clear her airway. I would offer water to drink, and let her be, so that she will cough up whatever it is. They sometimes can get stridor with a respiratory infection or disease, and then you would notice watery eye, nasal drainage, and head shaking due to mucus in the beak. I would not press on her crop anymore today, since it could force food back up into the airway. Let us know how she is doing a bit later. Many times this stridor may clear overnight.
